So could one swap this out on the Digitakt and have a 128 Gig ‘+Drive’? Or perhaps there’s some hard-coded limit in the software – though there shouldn’t be.

But unlike the Octatrack you can’t play samples from the ‘+Drive’, the Digitakt only plays samples loaded to it’s memory from the ‘+Drive’. (I’m pretty sure of this, going from my memory.) So it’s not as big an advantage to boost the flash as expected.

As to the stability of suppliers – Toshiba has been facing some financial troubles with the Westinghouse nuclear business problems lately. This could be a headache for any project manager and purchaser.

I bent the OLED up a bit to peek at the writings on the microcontroller. It’s an MCF51QE96CLK 32 bit ColdFire mcu.

The endless rotation potentiometers are pretty neat and becoming more and more common on music gear. The Alesis Ion already had them, as does the Novation Circuit. I don’t know about the exact type in the Digitakt, but the ones in the Circuit seem to be Alpha RV112FF parts.
